We know that 'replenish' is the appropriate word to be used in this passage, for all but
a remnant of living creatures perished in the flood of Noah's day. Only eight descendants
of Adam survived. They were instructed by Yahweh to fill again the earth which had
formerly been populated. Noah's sons and daughters were not filling the earth a first time.
They were re-filling it. This same Hebrew word form is found in the following verse.

Genesis 1:21-22
And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters
brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God
saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, "Be fruitful, and multiply, and
replenish the waters in the seas..."

When we perceive that Yahweh was re-creating the earth in Genesis chapter one, we
also discover that the earth's creations and states conform to a tertiary and septenary
pattern. When we "rightly divide the word of God" we see that all fits according to the
pattern Yahweh has established. When we fail to rightly divide the word of God, the pattern
is broken.
This septenary structure is further observed in the opening chapters of Genesis in that
Yahweh appointed six days for the creation of the earth, and on the seventh day He rested.
The number seven is equated with rest. When the seventh state of the earth appears, it will
be an earth at rest. The seventh and final state of the earth will have no seas. There will be
no sin or death. Yahweh will no longer dwell in the heavens and man on earth. Yahweh will
dwell among man.

Revelation 21:1-5
Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth passed
away, and there is no longer any sea... And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying,
"Behold, the tabernacle of God is among men, and He will dwell among them, and they
shall be His people, and God Himself will be among them, and He will wipe away every
tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any
mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away." And He who sits on the
throne said, "Behold, I am making all things new." And He said, "Write, for these words
are faithful and true."
